I don't think evidence would help at this point. The only solace I have is thinking that a petty, vindictive person won't be able to unravel decades of positive strides in the global arena.

Warning - Rationalization ahead: I would like to think that the reason for a lot of the petty jabs were to dominate the echo chamber for his own benefit. Is it possible to think that he is an ego-maniacal self serving sociopath? Absolutely. But, is it also possible to believe that he used the system against itself to further his candidacy and tap into a deep seated anger within the population? Probably. And do we really think he wants to watch the world burn? Doubtful.
